Calling All Little Heroes!
In honor of Month of the Military Child, Hunt Military Communities is pleased to launch our 7th Annual Hunt Little Heroes program. Hunt Little Heroes celebrates the special moments that make our military families and their children heroes right here in our communities.
As part of the program, we want middle school and high school students to write an essay or create a video inspired by America's 250th birthday.
Explore the idea that heroes don’t always wear uniforms or capes. What does America’s 250th birthday mean to you personally? How do you envision America 250 years from now?
The Hunt Little Heroes program is open to children of all military families. Submissions open from March 15th to April 30th.
